Driving Impression

Acceleration with the 3.3-liter V6 engine is reasonable, thanks to the transmission’s willingness (after a brief pause) to kick down when you stomp the gas pedal. The transmission shifts quickly when it’s shifted by the driver in manual mode, using the lever on the console. No paddles.

The Santa Fe offers three driving modes. Normal is fine for most of the time, but Sport presents sharper steering on two-lanes, and Eco limits acceleration, slows the throttle response, and slackens the gear changes to deliver the best fuel mileage.

The electric power steering is taken from the Hyundai Elantra GT, and contributes to predictable handling. The suspension is calmer and the ride quieter than it used to be. Even with the 19-inch wheels on the Limited and Ultimate, the worst surfaces are effectively dampened.

Santa Fe engineers have made a big effort to reduce noise and vibration, and suspension sounds have been toned down, while barely a whir can be heard from the elderly drivetrain under acceleration.

Walk Around

On its 110-inch wheelbase, Hyundai’s biggest SUV is still smaller than some rivals in its class, yet it has the appearance of bigness. But no less stylish, with its 2017 touch-up keeping it competitive in the looks department. The new bumpers went a long way. On the Limited and Ultimate, LED foglamps flank a slim, wide mouth.

Interior Overview

An undulating dashboard surface dips and rises for the centerstack and panel for the gauges. Audio and fan adjust with big easy knobs. Just ahead of the shift lever there’s a deep open storage cubby. The materials complement and fit each other well. SE owners have to live with more plastic.

Seats are shapely and supportive, helped by bolstering that’s not too firm. There’s ample legroom in front, but the headroom suffers under the panoramic sunroof that’s standard in the Ultimate. The comfortable headrests are at an ideal angle.

Thanks to the 110-inch wheelbase, the second row gets good legroom to go along with the comfortable bench seat, and even more comfortable captain’s chairs. The third row is for kids. The wheelbase isn’t long enough to make real room back there.

With the third row up, there’s 13.5 cubic feet of storage space in back, about the same as the trunk of a small sedan. But when the third row is folded flat, there’s more than 40 cubic feet behind the second row, and that’s quite healthy. And there’s more in a shallow bin beneath the cargo floor.

The Santa Fe isn’t the best in its class, but it behaves well, performs respectably, and delivers strong value.
